The Mistery Of Mask

In this world each person has at least three faces: his real one, the one that he shows to all people around and the one he thinks he possesses. And it is not the whole list, everything depends on the very person, his world outlook and his life philosophy. It’ a notorious fact that most of us don’t want to lay the heart bare and let other people become close to us and that is the reason for us to wear masks. Each of us has plenty of them for various...

Parallel Zombies on Android: A lurch in the right direction

Zombie games are a dime a dozen on mobile devices these days. Just search the word "zombie" on the App Store or Google Play, and you'll be greeted with pages worth of zombie games. Throw in the fact that location-based gaming hasn't exactly taken off, and the odds seem to be stacked against games like Parallel Zombies for Android. To meet such odds, luckily, the developers at PerBlue have stepped up their game with Parallel Zombies, set to launch...

First Look: Saab Phoenix Concept

GENEVA -- Saab's Dutch chairman and CEO, Victor Muller, probably doesn't know and certainly doesn't care that to us, the Phoenix is a Pontiac compact from the '70s and '80s. He's named ex-Ferrari designer Jason Castriota's 9-3-sized concept hatchback coupe "Phoenix," a celebration of Saab's rising from the ashes of the GM sale.

Neverending Saab Story Youngman Lotus Refuses to Go Away

Official news of Saab's inevitable bankruptcy liquidation last December 19 broke too late for "Trend's" last deadline. After covering it at motortrend.com, we figured Saab's death would be nothing more than a brief "We Hear" item. Saab has never been that easy. Between deadlines comes word that Youngman Lotus, the Chinese company that tried to buy Saab last year after the Swedish factory shut down when suppliers held back parts, is trying to pick...

2013 Ford Fiesta ST Ford's Sporty Subcompact to Hit European Streets Next Year

When we first saw the Ford Fiesta ST as a concept car at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show and later in five-door form at the L.A. show, it seemed like a no-brainer that the small, go-fast hatch would be built. Not surprisingly, Ford has made it official with the reveal of the production-spec version of the 2013 Ford Fiesta ST debuting at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in advance of its in European showroom launch early next year.

PlayStation Suite becomes PlayStation Mobile, HTC officially certified

When Sony introduced the PlayStation Suite a little over a year ago, their plan was to have other manufacturers jump in. So far the adoption has been slow, but HTC is one company that sees a benefit in getting PlayStation Certified. We heard rumors about this a few months ago, but it was just officially announced that HTC is now onboard. HTC might not be the biggest presence when it comes to Android, but they’re definitely a major contender. This...

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 review: Competitively priced but is it enough?

Samsung continues to be the leader in the number of tablets released by an Android manufacturer. They had the first mainstream tablet, the Galaxy Tab, and from there they continued to release various 7-inch tablets along with an 8.9 tab and a 10.1. This year they updated their tabs to the Galaxy Tab 2 by trying to be more competitive. I already reviewed The Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, which is priced at $249. I found that one to be very competitive and a solid...
